I think everyone here would agree that it's a pleasure to be able to
help in any way possible. Does the soul good.


Reminds me of the big charity here...the IWK Children's Hospital.
All the big players kick in at the very end to boost the total over the
top in a dramatic fashion.


While I was on the golf course this morning, making a fool of myself,
someone donated another $500! Hell, if this keeps up our team may end up on
top! Wouldn't *that* be something?

Yes...I'm sure if those contributions could guarantee research results,
you'd match the whole grand total yourself. It's been a long haul.
The Terry Fox Run has been a big annual event here for years.

Inspirational, to say the least.

I am glad u decieded to ignore the person who bitched and wanted you to
stop promoting the web site and the worthwhile charity.

Your perserverance and the generoistiy of this group and your friends
resulted in something you can be proud of.

In your way, I am sure you showed your daughter how much you are
supporting her in this difficult time.

Well, it paid off. If my behavior was *really* that offensive to anyone,
then I apologize for it. Based on the response from 17 people in the group,
it wasn't *too* offensive!

John, your behavior (in this instance!!) was only offensive to one
person looking for an excuse to start a flame war.

Actually, it was two. If you'll recall, one person said he wasn't donating
because of my 'misbehavior' !

Seems like a silly reason, but hey - each to his own.

Am I reading the site wrong...the top fundraiser only has three grand.
How come your daughter isn't there with the $5K?
(not talking about individual contributors)

As I am associated with a team, Racing for Renee, the money donated
through
my site gets credited to the team, not me individually. If I were to
disassociate myself from the team, then I'd be the top fundraiser. I'm
leaving it as it is, and the Racing for Renege team is currently the third
highest team.

Congratulations once again on the success of your team. If I recall you
promised to donate $3,000+ to the fund if it met a certain ceiling you set.
That ceiling was met and surpassed.

Once you do so your team will certainly be in first place. The foundation
will also appreciate the donation.

Just *badgering* for a donation to a worthy cause that you promised to make
a large donation to. Looking forward to seeing your name on the largest
donors list. ;-)

PS: Your intentions and efforts are indeed noteworthy John. As I stated
previously my family has a stake in this foundation also and your promised
donation to the fund is certainly appreciated.

I've no idea what you're talking about. Perhaps you could refresh my memory
with the appropriate post? I *did* offer to triple an individual's
donation, which could possibly have cost me that much, although the limit
was 'up to the goal'. I don't recall saying anything about making a $3000+
donation if it met the goal.

However, I'm sure you'll refresh my memory.

Thanks!

My bad. It was actually $1,750.

Your promise:

"I'll match (on a $1 for $2 basis), up to the amount of the goal, any
donations made to the foundation through this web site by anyone from this
time until the cut-off for team donations, which is 1 May! So, if you donate
$20, that'll cost me another $10! If the group donates $3500 andits the
goal, it'll cost me $1750."

Cough up John. It is for a worthy cause after all. ;-)

I matched every donation that was made by a member of the group after that

received your copy of my matching contribution right after you made your
donation. Now, if you want to donate $3500, to a cause in which you have a
stake, I'll be glad to match it on a $1 for $2 basis, i.e., I'll donate
another $1750.

You are most welcome to check with the other donors in the group to see if
their donations were matched as yours was.
